"No-one has ever made me feel this good," I told her and saw her smile begin. "Kick your shoes off, we're going to have a shower."
Chapter 2
I leaned backwards to centre our combined weight, then pushed up until I was standing, saying a silent thank you to Nick, whose scorn for men who only worked their upper bodies was a byword at the gym. Who knew how useful strong thighs could be when you've got blissed-out, stocking-clad blonde in your arms?
As I walked towards the shower, Karolina nestled her head against my chest and experimentally cupped each breast. Looking down, I saw her examine the red handprints that covered them and the darker red marks at her nipples that promised vivid bruises tomorrow. She seemed fascinated by them and only stopped her inspection when we reached the bathroom door. She looked at the door, then at me, a question on her face.
"My hands are full," I said. "Full of girl. Can you open the door?"
She burst out laughing and reached down for the handle. As the door swung open, I could see her shirtdress, neatly folded, and her handbag, lying on a chair in the corner of the room.
"Can we have a bath together?" she asked.
"Later. Right now a shower's better," I said, carrying her to the open door of the glass cubicle. "Can you reach in and turn the water on?"
She reached for the cold tap first and, before she could move her hand to the hot tap, I stepped into the cubicle, drenching us both in freezing water.
Karolina screamed louder than she had done all night: "Fuck! What are you doing?"
I laughed and turned towards the shower head, holding her under the full blast of the spray, shuddering myself with the icy feel of the water.
"Trust me. I grew up playing hockey. This helps with the bruises," I said, as she squirmed in my arms and put up a hand in a vain attempt to fend off the water.
"Aaaah!" she shouted, her voice echoing around the shower. "I don't care! It's too cold!"
She reached for the hot tap, so I tilted her shoulders back towards me and away from the taps, pulling her closer and laughing again.
"Stop complaining!" I told her. "I don't have any bruises and it's freezing me, too!"
Karolina huddled against my chest, her teeth beginning to chatter: "Oh God, I don't care about the damn bruises. Turn the hot water on, please!"
I gave her a scornful look. "Spanked, slapped, called a whore, fucked in the ass and this is what you complain about? Where are your priorities, girl?"
At least that got her laughing between the muttered curses she was mouthing into my chest. By now, the cold water was beginning to make me shiver as well. Before she could react enough to fight me, I swung Karolina headfirst over my shoulder, holding her so the icy jets of water were aimed directly at her ass.
She screamed again, as much in surprise as from the glacial stream pouring onto her tender ass and pussy, then beat her fists against my back, laughing: "Bastard! Put me down!"
As the frigid water was now hitting my exposed cock - never a pleasant feeling - I relented, turning the hot water up full and easing Karolina down to her feet. I highly recommend the feeling of a wet, busty girl sliding down your chest. She was covered in gooseflesh and shivering, the last of her make-up dripping in rivulets down her face, her stockings soaked through, black and clingy against her legs. She looked gorgeous, flushed and alive.
Of course, the moment the water changed from warm to hot, she stiff-armed me back against the glass of the shower stall.
"No heat for you, you horrible, evil man," she said. "Not until I'm warm again, anyway."
"I'll make you a deal," I said. "Let me back under the spray and I'll wash you all over and make you feel better."
"Hmmph," she snorted, glaring up at me. "That's what all the boys promise."
I laughed and stepped back under the water with her, reaching around her for the soap.
"Does cold water really work for bruises?" she asked me, putting her arms around my neck.
"Um," I hesitated, thinking how best to phrase the answer. "The coaches swore it did: 'If you can't have an ice bath, use an ice pack. If you don't have an ice pack, use the coldest water you can find.'"
"But does it work?" she repeated.
"No," I admitted, smiling down at her. "Not that I ever noticed. It does get the blood moving, though..."
I ducked as she swatted at me.
"Bastard!"
I held my hands up for peace, showing her the soap.
"Swiss-milled, extra-pure sandalwood something-or-other," I said. "Costs more than gold. Play nice or I'll go get the cheap stuff from the kitchen."
She smiled and poked me in the chest.
"Bribes and threats. They are teaching you something at that company," she said, then looked down, noticing her stockings for the first time. "Don't let me fall over," she asked, reaching down to roll each of them down her legs, then pitching them over the side of the shower stall to land in the nearby sink.
"Nice shot!" I said, putting my arms around her and beginning to rub the soap across her back.
"All-state in high school," she boasted.
"Really?"
